This is cool! First time a programming game makes sense to me from a UX perspective.

Great idea, and very cool game. Probably going to mess around with it later, but a few early observations after going through the tutorial and reading the docs: * It's perfect…

Cool game, very original and engaging from the start. I appreciate how clean the tutorial is. Do you have any plans for allowing mouse-less control?

Are there other games like this? This looks quite fun!

Insanely cool! Ran through the tutorial. Excited to give it a shot for real soon & see the project's progress over time.

I find the run loop to be fairly confusing. In step 2 of the tutorial we have ``` s1.move(star_zxq.position); s1.energize(s1); if (s1.energy == s1.energy_capacity) {…

I like the concept, but there seems to be a lot of problems for a "beta": ``` - The documentation doesn't mention what merging and dividing is for. This is not covered in the…

Very nice so far. I noticed a small problem in the tutorial. On step 3 or 4, when the suggested code is if (s1.energy == s1.energy_capacity){ memory[s1.id] = "charging"; } else…

It would be really nice if there was some indication of errors in your script. I typo'd some of the tutorial code and it took me a minute to see what was going wrong (no errors…

It looks nice and I like the core gameplay loop, but after uploading a few snippets of code the spirits are constantly moving backwards and forwards (even in the tutorial after…

Even the API we see in the tutorial is, well, problematic: s1.energize(s2) has the s1 entity transfer energy to the s2 entity ... except that if s2 == s1 (or s2 === s1), s1 tries…

That's nice. A sandbox mode would be nice, where there's just an indestructible enemy base, where you can test and debug your code without the pressure of being attacked. Also in…

Is there a short video demo ? EDIT: Sorry, I was lazy, just saw walk through tutorial, nice game, but it would be nice to have 1 min trailer.

Cool! I'll play with it more... when I'm not at work. Suggestion: more keyboard shortcuts: find/replace, delete line to name a few. Eventually you could allow customization…

For now you can only spectate if someone shares the game's url with you. I'm planning on adding spectating of top-rated games soon.

Is the JS run on the server or is it compiled to instructions or something? If the former, how do you prevent people from running malicious code?

Behold the greatest weapon in my fleet's arsenal... Object.__proto__ 8^)

How do computing resource limits work?

Cool. How can I spectate?

so... it's a screeps copy?

Replying to this one since that was my first impression. On closer look they did seem quite different. Gameplay, goals, all of that is similar to screeps. But the game board and…

The biggest one might be https://screeps.com/

this is curiously similar to https://halite.io/ by Two Sigma

https://battlesnake.com is a good programming game that's language agnostic

Slightly reminded me of Elevator Saga[0], a much simpler game in which you use JS to move people with elevators [0] https://play.elevatorsaga.com/
